Take a journey into the heart of West Africa... Artist, musician, and author Dave Kobrenski takes the reader on a musical and visual journey up the Djoliba river in Guinea to explore ancient music traditions, as well as to understand the challenges that face a country "balancing between the world of its ancient traditions and the frontier of modern ideals and influences." Dozens of original paintings and drawings accompany vivid first-hand accounts of the music, culture, and people of Guinea, while scores of rhythm notations make this a unique and valuable resource for musicians, educators, and travel enthusiasts alike. From the author's preface: "Part travelogue, part sketchbook, this is a book about glimpsing in the everyday dust of existence the potential for rich and meaningful expressions of being in the world; of seeing that beyond the tattered common cloth of life hangs a veil of mystery infused with magic and wonder."

Excerpt from Glimpses of West Africa: With Sketches of Missionary Labor The very name of west africa carries an indefinable feeling of half-dread to many a heart. So much has been said of its deadly climate, and so many have early fallen on the coast, that some good men have been ready to advise the abandonment of the field, and the concentration of forces in a more favored spot. The country is doubtless unhealthy, and of many an ardent young missionary it might be truly written, He, the young and strong, who cherished Noble longings for the strife, By the wayside fell and perished, On the threshold march of life.

Excerpt from Glimpses of West Africa: With Sketches of Missionary Labor The larger portion of the following pages was written during odd moments, snatched from the pressing cares and labors of a missionary life in West Africa. The remainder has been prepared since failing health compelled my return to America. This little volume does not profess to be an exhaustive or scientific treatise on West Africa, but merely to give a few glimpses of that strange, wild land, and its degraded inhabitants, - such as I have been able to gather during my missionary residence and travels there. These chapters relate mostly to the country and tribes in the vicinity of the Mendi Mission, between six and eight degrees north latitude. Other parts of the coast differ, perhaps, in some respects, though the general features are much the same. If these pages shall arouse in any heart a deeper interest in Africa and the missionary work there, the author will feel that he has not labored in vain.
